Introduction

As a freelance web developer for Departure3, I built upon the responsive, one-page scrolling HTML template TRU and Departure3 had previously selected as the foundation of TRU Events' website. I added content and HTML5/CSS3 to continue building out the website, added oAuth 2.0 Twitter and Instagram feed functionality and added their custom-designed icons to the site by modifiying and adding the vector icon images to a custom font in order to keep the images crisp.

Introduction

As a freelance web developer for Departure3, I was responsible for building the Mobile Navigation for the Crowne Plaza - Redondo Beach & Marina website, launched in August 2013. Built on jQuery mobile, the expanding/collapsing nav features a representitive photo for each subsection, styled in CSS3 and cropped/resized by the CSS depending on the guest's phone screen size and portrait or landscape orientation.

Designed a purposely simplistic website interface for digital music artist Exile of Silence. Built the site with PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
